Re: What's do I lose???

Don't let anybody fool you....a Dana 44 is nowhere near as strong as a 14 bolt corp axle.
The main thing you lose is the difference between a full-floating axle and the lighter duty semi-floating axle.
With a full floating axle, even if it where to break, which is far less likely in the first place, the wheel does not come off of the truck.
The 8 lug stuff is there for a reason, don't defeat the safety aspect, nor the gearing needed to tow.
You have the right stuff, just adapt it to look the way you want....

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
